How to use this set for french manicure? do you buy tips separately? and if so, do is it okay to apply tips over the base coat and then cure the white

If you're using tips, buy separately. The base coat would go on top. I don't use tips. Using Gelish polishes has allowed me grow out my own nails and they are healthy now. Love the products!!

This set gives you the colors for a French manicure. First the base then the white...I use a small brush with acetone to remove the excess uncured white polish to create the look of a nail tip. Then light pink then top coat. Watched the salon do it for years before I decided I could save money doing it myself.

If you're using this product on acrylic tips you do not need to use the base coat just apply the color directly to the acrylic nail.

If you've ever seen them do it in salon, they just paint a white line (each one varies in width) then take a crescent shaped brush, dip it in acetone, dab it off on napkin and slowly remove the white polish (from the nailbed end of nail) shaping each one so that they match each other - then cure it. After you do this once or twice it is actually quite easy. Hope that helps!

I bought the stuff for my wife. She has no experience in using it on the type of nails you describe.Sorry

They come with I believe 3 extra tips which you can switch out. Mine were ALL dried out, including the tips. I will probably soak mine in nail polish remover and they should be fine. Hope this helps.

Yes, I first use a gel base (make sure you have the light to cure it). Then do 2 coats of the regular color. Finally use the gel top coat (again use the light to cure) and you are good to go. Your nails will look killer for at least 2 weeks.

Hi, yes off course it's wonderful to protect the nail polish to last longer. I swear by it, when I use other clear top coats nothing works like Nailtiques.

Funny you ask. I ran out of gelish base and top coat. And use a different brand I had. Turned out just as good. Just be sure to use gel products and clean nail bed well. Hope this helps.

You'll need nail glue, an acrylic brush, files to shape the extensions, and something to trim them with. The kit only includes a set of tips, the powder, the retention liquid, a prep scrub, and solar oil for your cuticles. On a side note I wasn't impressed with the quality of the tips in the kit. They bend easily and started breaking within a day. I ended up redoing my nails with better tips from a local beauty supply store and they have stayed much better. Also make sure you get a good glue, not the cheap brush on. I always have problems with tips coming off with that glue. CND has a resin glue that works much better. Good luck.

No sorry it won't work. It is like nail lacquer. You need a base and a top. Color in-between if you want. The base it what helps hold it on the nail and only a top will peel off because there's no base. Hope this makes since. You can use only a base and top coat with no color if you want. It looks really nice and the shine lasts for almost 2 weeks.

Apply to nails like polish. You can use it over polish as well. Strenghtens nails

It's not a base coat. Just use it as preparation for your base coat. I have oily nails, so I need to prep them before applying polish, otherwise I get the chips. Hope this helps.

I don't file the tip down. I just apply the gel over the entire nail and tip. It levels nicely, so just go a little lighter on the tip area. Once you set the gel, lightly file and apply another light coat to make sure everything is smooth and level.

I haven't had any troubles with the nail polish. Maybe you should use a clear top and bottom coat??? I don't know &#128542;. Sorry.

Yes it works great for pedicure polish. I did a French manicure polish it last for three weeks. Very happy with this product!!! :-)

yes, it says you can put on after a manicure. but i think putting it on as a base coat works the best and then you cn put on polish and another coat of the pink armor after that. it dries quickly.

You apply them to nails, after slicing very thin and than add a layer of clear polish. you can group them or use one on each... so cute!
